This activity will guide you through a brief exercise in which you will take slower, deeper breaths to help you relax.

This calms your nervous system, creating a “relaxation response.”

Before beginning, find a quiet place or use headphones so you will get the most out of this exercise.

To start, get in a comfortable position. Sitting would be best so that you can practice along as you listen to the demonstration.

Once you are ready, press the button to begin the exercise.
